The simplest kind of paper hat to make is a wizard's hat. Just roll the paper into a cone and tape the ends together. Ta-dah! You and your toddler are ready to cast some glorious spells.

For something slightly more sophisticated, take a piece of newspaper and fold it in half. Lay it down with the folded side farthest away from you.

Now fold the top two corners down so they touch in the middle of the page. You'll have a piece of paper with a triangle at the top and a long rectangular section across the bottom.

There are two layers of paper making up the rectangle. Take the top layer of the rectangle and fold it up to the bottom of the triangle, then up again. Now turn the hat over and do the same thing with the bottom layer.

Create hats for both your toddler and yourself, and have a blast together as you try them on (and off and on ... ) in front of a mirror.
